Here’s the quiet dealbreaker on a lot of travel-nurse housing: the dog. You take a 13-week assignment, you find a place that’s close to the hospital and reasonably priced — and then “no pets” ends the conversation. Your dog isn’t staying home for three months. So let’s solve that first.
Rivers & Steel City Homes offers genuinely pet-friendly furnished homes for traveling nurses across Pittsburgh — not a grudging exception, but homes set up to welcome your dog or cat. You get the things a long assignment needs: a full kitchen, in-home laundry, fast Wi-Fi, parking, and utilities included — plus a yard or a walkable neighborhood.
We keep homes near the hospital corridors (the Oakland UPMC cluster, the North Side near Allegheny General, Bloomfield near West Penn, and the eastern suburbs near Forbes and UPMC East), so the commute stays short and the dog walks stay easy.
How we work: we source to match. Tell us your hospital, your dates, and your pet (size, count), and we’ll line up the right pet-friendly home — about 30-60 days’ notice gives us the runway to get it right.
Tell us your dates and we will match or source your home — reach out here, or browse current stays. See the full guide: Traveling Nurses & Medical Professionals → · Part of Extended Stays.
